Tho MYTH About ATistocra.y.

Princes of the blood don't dress any
finer or behave any better than these
sons and wives and daughters of brokers
and business men, editors affd railroad
presidents-patent medicines, steamboats,,
standard oil, California and isinglass,
groceries and the china trade, all are rep
resented; and have seen at more than
one palace as well as playhouse In Europe
people of the bluest blood and oldest
name who carried themselves no more
proudly and bore their Eodies no more
seeinly. For the myth about aristocracy
should be exploded. 1t is simply what
those who were in once said to those who
were out what those who have still say
to those who have not.
1t is Ike the king in the story, who
was told he wore superb garment which
no one could see who was not nololy born.
He rode in the streets stark naked, and
ever so cold, but everybody cried out Mt
the beauty of his robes. They didn't
1are to own their blindness lest their
origin should be disclosed. The poor
king himself was afraid to say how he
shivere1. he might lose his crown.
Finally a little boy in the streets, who
had nothing to lose, cried out: Z" Why,
the king is naked - and then everybody
agreed. I am the little boy in the streets.

and the aristocrats too. I have seen
them. They are no better tliBn you or I.

Products of the Congo.

"The products of the Congo, " said Mr.
Stanley, are very numerous. OF course
there is ivory, and it would be fmpossi-
bic for me TO even imagine how many
herds of elephants there are. Let us
suppose railway TO Stanley Pool. / am
quite sure they would get $50 tons of
ivory from the upper Congo alone. That
means 81 900 per ton in value, or ei5O.-
600. OF course that would not nav for
building tho railroad, but Il would as
sist. The staple products of the country
are rubber, gum cOpal. camwOOd, the
orchilla weed coffee, palm oil, palm
nuts, peanuts and fibres like jute which
can be used f9r paper. There has never
been single botanist ON the upper csneo

We want t:tc trader, who goes between
the black san and the commercial man

goods among the negroes and barter
them for native products The Dutch
house which settled at the north of the
Congo paid II per cent dividend. To-
day they pay nothing atalI. That. how.
ever, does not indicate declining trade.
II proves that tlIese people instead of
combining to build railway competed
for trade that was already well estab-
